Of COURSE the kid shouldn't be criminally charged.  He should stay in some kind of an institution for the rest of his life though.  I'm still waiting for them to charge his parents criminally.  And I'm still waiting for them to charge the administrators who either ignored the issue or who openly refused to implement a safety plan.  They ALL need to spend time in jail.  [/quote]
I thought it was interesting that the child can’t be part of the juvenile system either. How is the community being assured that he is being rehabilitated? This child needs to be in intensive treatment and it should be mandatory and state monitored. [/quote]

This child likely cannot be rehabilitated. There are some medical conditions where there is a biologically (brain) based issue, including complete inability to feel any empathy.  It may be possible to achieve that he can live in society without killing someone, but it’s going to be difficult and require intense inpatient commitment.  There are only a few locations in the US equipped to deal with this. If not addressed appropriately, he will escalate his violence as he gets older.[/quote]At this point it doesn’t seem that anything has been done. If the state can’t charge him, how can they mandate therapy?[/quote]
